Dans ce tutoriel, pas à pas, je vais vous montrer comment j’ai peint une carrosserie lexan Proline Dodge Power Wagon adaptée pour un Tamiya CR01 personnalisé "Roy City Fire Dept." Little Red Truck - Petit Camion Rouge.

Merci ! 🙏

It looks awesome.

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you Lucas!

@@fullspeeddesign You're welcome. I can't wait to see her in action!

[@ianbarrett2357]

I thought you can't paint lexan on the outside? Isn't this just going to chip when rolled? Or is it just a shelf model?

[@fullspeeddesign]

You can paint on the outside, I want it to scratch and chip when rolling over :-)

[@pawpatina]

a flat maroon/brown or primer red base would have made it look more realistic. exposed metal patinas (rusts)

[@Chip.hazard]

for more realistic effect i would put a lighter red with more white in it, before the salt, like this at the end it will look like the clear coat of the truck is peeling like in real life.. Good job!!!

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you! Very good idea … for now I only paint with spray cans. I realy need to find me an airbrush, I could have more color choices.

[@michalczerwinski9005]

Awesome job, congratulations.
One question - before applying 2nd layer (dark red) you waited untill salt/water will dry up?
I'm just before that step with my SCX10.2 Cherokee.

[@fullspeeddesign]

Yes is has to be dry !

[@rchydrozz751]

5:35 my favorite part.

[@fullspeeddesign]

Mine too 🤩🙏

[@thomasbolle6256]

I use paprika powder... works great! 👍

[@fullspeeddesign]

I discovered the paprika trick, how does it stick to the paint ?

[@clintlane5113]

I use paprika and cinnamon

[@maxflippage9758]

Smells aMAZing on hot days

[@bud1lite]

I love it!How does paint hold up on the outside after trailing ?After several tumbles and what not,anyone know?

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you! When crashing the paint comes off and lets the inside color show. I drive as if I was inside, so usually not too many rollovers. I do not spare it tho ... no shelfqueen! :-)

[@bud1lite]

@@fullspeeddesign cool,yeah I have the trx4 79,trail as close to real life as possible,but still get really banged up lol.I’m going to paint it one day soon though.

[@jazzmatazz21]

how did you do the lettering of the doors? thanks for your help.

[@fullspeeddesign]

The logo is made with illustrator and cut out of a vinyl sticker sheet with a plotter and used as a mask

[@rockeight]

Thanks mate I love your videos you've changed the way I paint my lexan bodies. Youve got some mad talent.

[@fullspeeddesign]

Awesome! Thanks mate

"Next video: weathering"... I'm not seeing the weathering video...? Great start though!

[@fullspeeddesign]

Truck has not been weathered yet :-)

[@rongka272]

wait, where and at which step are you using salt?!

[@fullspeeddesign]

Around 5:10 … 🙂

[@overbuiltautomotive1299]

i know its me but fast forward sucks i fell like i am on Ritalin or am a chipmunk lol

[@fullspeeddesign]

🤣

[@cumminskid4399]

Why do you wash your body so much

[@joepalmisano9372]

Hygiene

[@fullspeeddesign]

I maybe wash it too much but I wanna be sure that the paint grips!

[@cumminskid4399]

Oh that makes sense.

[@Airbrushkid]

WOW you waste the silver paint. You never needed to paint the inside of the body.

[@fullspeeddesign]

When the body gets scratched it will show silver areas … better than transparent IMO 👍
